I've run into quite a few system administrators in my career, and it
seems the field attracts some very good people, and some very bad
people...  Buddy Bear, I'm afraid that you sound like you're one of
the very bad people.

It seems to me that the role of the system administrator is to
provide service for the user community, and that includes complying
with user requests as quickly as reasonable, and providing information
quickly.  The original request was not at all unusual, unreasonable, 
or absurd; the restoral of archived files is a perfectly reasonable
request of a system administrator.  If I were in a hiring or firing
position over someone who called a user who requested a file be
restored a "bozo," that person would get their walking papers no matter
how well they did the rest of their job.
